Missions Updates

Dear Friends,

There is so much to be grateful for around Kubamitwe this season! The Lord is so generous to bring us continued blessing in each of our ministry areas. Thank you for all that you have done to help SOS Ministries.  We are so grateful for YOU!

Your love fuels our impact every day, and it does not go unnoticed! I hope you will rejoice with us in the historical events that have just transpired. To God be the glory!

CBCK GRAND OPENING

On November 23rd, well over 2,000 people gathered to celebrate the grand opening of Community Bible Church of Kubamitwe!

The day so many of you gave toward and prayed for finally arrived!  And what an incredible day it was. Thank you! Your investment is in more than just brick and mortar; it’s in the souls of hundreds of Ugandans. 

This building will be a beacon of light for our community and even a nation! We can welcome more people each Sunday and host larger groups for training throughout the year. Our church building has significantly expanded our ministry opportunities!

STC GRADUATION

The sixth class of the certificate program of Shepherds Training College students graduated on November 22nd! After one year of deep discipleship and intense studies, these 53 students are ready to go back home and share what they’ve learned with their congregations.

30 of these men will be hand-selected to join our residential bachelor degree program with their families. We look forward to our first graduation of the bachelor degree class next November!

SUPPORT A PASTOR

As one certificate class of STC graduates, another one launches! As they return to their villages, we are more aware than ever that this investment is in more than just pastors but rather it’s an investment in entire communities!

This February, 100 more pastors will join the program and do the hard work of becoming leaders in their communities. And we’re kicking off a brand-new initiative called Support a Pastor, where donors have the opportunity to support the development of a pastor, and therefore their community’s spiritual development at home! 

One of the greatest needs we have this year is for our friends to support a pastor. This 3-year commitment is $250 a month, but its impact is significant. We would love for you to prayerfully consider helping us to carry the burden of training these men for future service.

You can check out all of our pastors needing support here:

BAPTISM SUNDAY RECAP

In Luke 15:10, Jesus says “... there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” This is why we, too, rejoice over baptism here at SOS!

Last month, we celebrated 15 baptisms at CBCK! Rejoice with us as you get a glimpse of this thrilling event:

PRAYER REQUESTS:

1. Praise the Lord for another abundantly fruitful year.
2. Praise the Lord for the grand opening of our local church and for our community who turned out in massive numbers.
3. Pray that many of our community members who attended the event would begin to faithfully come to our local church.
4. Pray that the whole SOS staff will enjoy rest during this Christmas holiday after a long year of serving their hearts out.
5. Pray that the Lord will bless the giving this fourth quarter as we prepare for ministry in 2026.

For the King and His kingdom,
